Paleo Maple Granola

I put that natural sweetness in and on everything I can. Bacon? Yes. Coffee? Yes. Oatmeal? Yes. Use as my regular sweetener in baked goods? All the damn time.

Unlike many other store bought granolas, or traditional granola recipes, this recipe has no refined sugar OR grains. It's mostly lots of nuts and maple syrup. The nuts provide fats and protein and the maple syrup provides minerals (so long as it's pure maple syrup, Grades B, C or D) and carbohydrates to give your body a quick burst of energy.

It can be added on yogurt, enjoyed as a cereal or on its own. Perfect for enjoying after physical activity or for sustainable energy throughout the day,.

It's also super easy to make so it would be pretty hard to screw it up. Unless you forget about it in the oven. So don't do that..
